Since I have been posting the soldiers of Brimfield, I have received
request for certain names that are not in the "History of Brimfield"
I went to the Palmer library and made copies of early Palmer names.
-------
**Elbow Tract-old name of Palmer: 1718
**The name changed to Palmer in 1752
** parts of present day towns annexed to Palmer:
i. part of Brimfield-1760
ii. tract of Palmer included in Ware-1761
iii. part of Western [today's Warren]annexed-1831
**Keep in mind the other towns when searching for your names.....
------------
No spelling has been changed.......
--
The book "Elbow Tract Settlement,1718-1728", information came
from the town of Londonderry,NH in the book
"History of Londonderry" by Parker. The following names of inhabitants
from northern Ireland,came to America to Boston in 1718. Some stayed in
Boston, others went to Andover[Mass]and other adjoining towns.....however
16 families went eastward and settled at Nutfield [now Londonderry] Others
went to Worcester,Mass.,not being happy there , some went to Unadilla,NY.
Some moved to Spencer,Mass.,some in Stow, some Hopkinton,Mass,some into
Connecticut, and last,some to the "Elbows". In 1736,more Irish
families came over...some went to Colrain[old spelling Colraine],and others
started a town called New Lisburne [now Pelham,Mass] 1739-40.
